Cindy,
I am sorry to read of your Dad's passing. His amazing service and dedication were amazing. So was your steadfast care of him until his passing. May his memory be a blessing.
I have shared his experiences in the book written in his honor with many. All were in awe of what he accomplished.

Pat,
Deepest sympathy for your loss. Your Dad was an amazing man and true hero, giving so much to his country. His book was very enlightening and thrilling. I am honored to have an autographed copy on my book shelf. I know how hard it is to lose your father and pray your wonderful memories give you peace and comfort. He is at peace now. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Cindy, Pat and families, Tom and I were so sorry to hear about Uncle Hon´s death. We will not be able to make the viewing and funeral, but please know we will be with you in spirit.
It has been a blessing that your Dad lived to see and experience the many acknowledgments of his importance and part in ending the war. He was always a quiet, humble, and talented man. We will always remember him with fond memories. We plan to make a donation in his memory. Big hugs to all of you!

Dear Smoyer Family,
It's a sad day to see that Clarence has passed. I knew Clarence and Melba through my mother, Jean and her husband Monroe (a long-time friend). I loved hearing about his time in Europe and that day in Cologne. He was a very lucky hero. It was nice bowling with him and the group! They were a very nice couple and fun to be with. We send you our deepest sympathies.
Always sincerely,
Jean Peter and Peggy Peters
A grateful American.
